Default IE7 Beta 2
Installed it yesterday - thought it was the biggest load of sh1t3.

If this is the best microsoft can come up with - the browser wars are well and truly over.

Not content with ripping off Mac for it's GUI, it has now completely ripped off all the great ideas you come to associate with FireFox....

Disappointing microsoft... disappointing......

did the fact that you had to have a valid Windows XP registration to install in the first place not annoy you?

oh yeah!!!

But what I forgot to mention.... even worse..... the uninstall......

I uninstalled it (when I eventually found out how...) my IE6 was fooked up.

If i typed a URL in the address bar, it popped open another window and froze!!!!!

Had to use system restore to get it back to normal!!!

ehhh..... no....

I think they have overlooked the whole usability side of things - but it's still in beta so that may well change!

Default no connections
after all the version is still a beta! so it might be expectable that some functions dont work. i have installed it and uninstalled it. no problems with this.
but the thing is IE7b would not connect to the web. The same session with other browsers do work. any ideas about security settings? i tried all proxy combinations i can think of...
